These 12 DVDs make for a very solid year of learning and earning, will add a wealth of knowledge, skills, tricks, tips and technique:

Commonsense Handicapping -- The foundation. Learn how to incorporate reason and structure into your handicapping, based on the four fundamental criteria of Ability, Form-and-Condition, Angles and Value. Plus topical commentary on handicapping during the wet and wild winter months.

Contemporary Contenders & Pacelines -- Eliminate noncontenders, and the winners will take care of themselves. Just by picking the likely losers (pretty easy!), the true contenders will reveal themselves to you. Discover why picking a paceline is a form-factor decision. Learn how to select a line or ratable race that neatly answers the crucial question: "How will this horse run today?" Plus topical commentary on future wagers, three-year-olds and the Triple Crown trail.

Advanced Pace & Speed Handicapping -- Do well at any and every North American Thoroughbred racetrack of your choice. Build a "Win Profile" for your track to help identify the likeliest winners. Identify false favorites who don't measure up to the powerful "Ability Par" that combines form-and-condition with pace. Make great profits from shippers, distance-switchers, class-movers and every other seemingly thorny handicapping dilemma that continues to mystify the betting public. Plus topical commentary on the latest edition of 2007 PARS PLUS book and supplemental materials, including WMFs (Winning Move Factors) and other local-knowledge issues.

Commonsense Maiden Handicapping -- So many well-intentioned sources tell you to skip these races, but we'll shout it out: "Don't skip these races!" These are easy races to play, as long as you know what to look for. The secrets and tricks in this video are indispensable if you're a pick 3, pick 4 or pick 6 player who must include maiden races in the sequence. Your attitude towards maidens will change — to your mutuel benefit. Plus topical, eleventh-hour commentary on the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown.

Commonsense Form Factor Analysis -- It's the most important factor, but also one of the least understood. A horse with top ability is great, but all the ability in the world won't mean a darn if the form-factor comes up negative. Learn how to spot horses in razor-sharp condition as well as use the "bounce" pattern, horses-for-courses angles, form cycles and workout strategies to uncover live longshots and dismiss bad favorites.

Commonsense Betting Strategy -- We all know how to handicap — after all, who doesn't consider himself or herself the world's greatest handicapper? But for most of us, proper wagering skills are an area in which we come up a just a wee bit short. Not anymore. This installment instills in you a "positive-expectation" mindset. From here on, all your wagers will have that wonderful trait of "putting the odds on your side." You'll also learn to "reduce" betting situations — for example, turn an exacta into a win bet, a trifecta to an exacta, a pick 3 to a daily double, and so on. These profitable betting methods are unknown to the majority of your racegoing competition. Plus topical commentary on the state of the art of high-tech computer handicapping.

Commonsense Exacta Wagering -- Sprint to the head of the exacta class by isolating the "place" horse, a horse that too few exacta players take full advantage of. The exacta remains a source of lucrative overlays and profits, so much more so when this DVD's concepts of the false, vulnerable and legitimate favorite are put to use. Watch your exotics profits soar with the first false even-money favorite you're able to eliminate confidently from your calculations.

Winning on the Turf -- No need to bust a gut over turf races, not when they boast full, closely matched fields and the potential for big scores on the win end. Figure out how to profit from first-time-on-the-grass runners, foreign invaders, shippers, and, of course, the experienced turfers who've already raced at the local track. The three-step approach contained here will boost your turf ROI big-time. Plus topical commentary on spotting which two-year-olds are most likely to prosper going long for the first time.

How to Win at Claiming Races -- These bread-and-butter races are complicated by the high-stakes poker of raises and drops in claiming price. How do you sort them out? No need to be confused — this DVD sets you straight by applying previously discussed ideas of ability, form-and-condition, angles and the all-important value card to your advantage. If you want to make consistent racetrack profits, claiming races are crucial — you'll run into them several times daily at every track you play. Now, turn this familiarity into a steady source of winnings. Plus topical commentary on the trainer factor in the modern game: who's doing what to whom!

Commonsense Money Management -- Once you've mastered the earlier lessons on handicapping and betting strategy, you still have an important discipline to consider: how to apply your bankroll to your next positive-expectation situation. In other words, you have to determine when to bet, what to bet and how much to bet. These questions seem innocuous, but as you can probably tell by the behavior of those around you at the racetrack, many players continue to give the wrong answers! Not you. Discover the absolute and unchanging mathematical truth that is optimal money management.

Winning the Nonclaiming Race -- Allowance and stakes events are supposedly predictable, but not as much as you might guess. Ability and form-and-condition count for much more in these races than the other two factors. Use this simple fact to get a nice edge in these upper-crust contests. Plus topical commentary on an up-to-date revisiting of Longshots: The Long-Range Look.

Advanced Betting Strategies & Year in Review -- Advanced exotics wagers are the subject here, with supplemental advice on tackling horizontal plays like doubles, triples (pick 3), quads (pick 4) and pick 6s, plus vertical tricks like the trifecta and super-duper (superfecta).

That's quite a course of instruction. In all, you'll get more than 20 hours of video instruction entirely on the miracle format that is the digital-video disc (DVD).
